Do people HONESTLY want end game large scale pvp....

[Irana]

To be an end game content? I dont see it being fun or interesting at all to be honest... In fact, it looks like an easy "omg we have no idea what to do so we will implement pvp and say its awesome end game content" kind of news to be honest.

For starters it will be stupid...slow targeting system...plus if you are in a party you will kick anyones butt with 0 problem...
I, for one, dont give a rat's butt about pvp and would like the devs to work on something MORE interesting for end-game content.

i actually made a thread about this 6 mins after you not knowing that you made this one, lol. I dont mind if they add large scale pvp, I dont have to play it and it seems as thought its on a back burner for now so don't have to worry about it using up to much of SE time and resources. If it was the main content coming in 1.18 then i would be upset.

[Irana]

It just doesnt make sense...how are you gonna make large scale pvp when the game is clearly made for a "1 target at a time" fight system x.x

[syntaxlies]

they are changing the way mobs are claimed, thats all i know. AOE will play a big role in PVP

I'm sure they will recreate pvp as a sport as in XI with balanced teams. Ballista was probably one of the most fun things for me in XI and it was a proving ground for skills and helped better enhance your PVE playing abilities as well. PVE you're playing against AI PVP you're playing against something unpredictable.. Just because you arent a fan of PVP doesnt mean there isnt a large audience for it.

Absolutely not! Tacked on PvP is the worst and its unnecessary. Its like, why can't an MMO just be purely PvE where all races/factions work together, nuff said. Its worked in FFXI quite well for 9 years, sure there is an optional PvP there, but its rarely played, and if you must play PvP, there are some 400+ other MMOs that have PvP in them, so just play one of them.

Optional PvP is Optional? Some people want it, and there are ways it could be implemented without it affecting any other aspect of the game. Instead of hating on it, and people who do want it, don't enter the PvP area/instance/whatever if it is released.

[...] don't enter the PvP area/instance/whatever if it is released.

Some little area or instance does not really sound like the large scale PvP they are talking about, so again I'm asking:
Why do you even think there would be large scale PvP?
Maybe some small PvP in some arena someday, sure, but large scale?
Although I actually like the idea of an arena to compete in
Because it means there's no stupid PvP in my everyday gameplay, but when I feel like it, I can go into the arena (which could have "tournaments" in different classes, like "easy" for 1-10, "not all that easy" for 10-20 and so on x)

This was what I was saying. IF IT IS RELEASED. The words you bolded.
I wasn't saying z0mg the devs have confirmed large scale PvP, in fact, I mentioned a small area/instance, would/could be possible.

But I forgive you. Nothing to bite heads off about.

[Glyder]

Lol that's exactly why they're implementing it. So that Square can compete with other MMO's. Right now any and all information regarding PvP is vague but I believe that it is the right choice and, if implemented correctly, could make FFXIV one of the best MMOs on the market if not THE best...why not have a little faith eh ;p?
